Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm is Ten!

Wednesday, October 01, 2014

That's right the once nipple balm now celebrity make-up artist favourite is now ten!

Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips began as a thick balm for chaffed/sore nipples but the news soon spread that not only is it fabulous for cracked nipples due to breastfeeding but is a wonder balm that will heal and soothe any cracked skin. That could of course be your lips, feet, elbows and all that's in between it is safe to use anywhere on the body (do not use internally i.e lips,eyes).You can also use it on fine lines, dry skin, cuticles and split ends. The list truly is endless.

"This is an S.O.S. balm for lips. Discover the secret passed from midwives to make-up artists: that the medical-grade lanolin used on nipples sore from nursing, can work equally well on your pout. Reducing skin roughness by up to 40% in an hour, this handbag-sized tube has become a cult-buy for dry, cracked bits everywhere."

The balm itself is thick, non-scented, quite oily in texture yet it has no scent not to mention it is completely 100% natural and hypo-allergenic, free from parabens and approved by Ecocert France. It is safe to use on all the family (from the youngest to the oldest member) as it is constructed from medical grade Lanolin. On the lips it feels completely natural albeit a little oily but nothing worse than a lip gloss or a soft lip balm, it soothed and almost immediately softened my dry lips complete with a lovely glossy finish. For a quick lip fix for dry lips I suggest applying a generous layer of Dr. Lipp Original Nipple Balm all over the lips and then brush you lips using an old soft tooth brush. Tah-dah soft plump lips in seconds!

For £11.50 you get 15ml (perfect for popping in a pocket or travelling with) which I entirely understand is fairly pricey but it is one of the best lip balms I have ever used. The fact that it can be used in a whole manner of ways does justify in my opinion that and the tiniest amount is all you need for each application, so 15ml tube will last a good few months at least. If not the entire Winter!

I love it when brands celebrate their birthdays :) a very happy returns to Dr. Lipp's Nipple Balm (the only balm that makes me inwardly giggle every time I see it and hear about it). It sounds like a great multipurpose product to have around the house! There's always a use for products like these x
